They used to play these commercials all the damn time when I was growing up so sadly I just cant take em seriously. He had a companion named Niblet and if I where to make one I for damn sure would name it that =P

but for me, Norn, while I love the race and their lore and goals, the constant optimistic-ness of them is a tad annoying. But I can see how they can also be others favorite race, but I honestly love them all.

btw, this probably isn't the best thread to continue, too much ease for arguing and off-topic wars.

I dont like the The way tall classes like norn feel so slow.
I don't like charr based on seeing them run on all 4s in videos.
Humans are bland and need MUCH better beards. Oh and bowties. Bowties are cool.
Asura, pure awesome.
Sylvari remind me of breath of fire 2.

...Humans in GW2 are dull? Really? Huh - they seemed fascinating back in GW1 to me. I know "it's still a human" and usually I dislike humans in mmos a lot but they just have really, really nice racial armour.

I really like both humans and sylvari, then asura (sorry, after reading that excerp on the forums about asura torturing sylvari not knowing what they were, I lost a bit of liking for them. They didn't know but I really, really love the sylvari >.> they're so pretty). Out of norn and charr...don't get me wrong I like both. I just have a hatred for playing big, hulking characters which take up half my screen.

Probably leaning towards charr more though, as that running on all fours bothers me and they made Gwen cry (admittedly, grown up Gwen annoyed me, but knowing they turned little Gwen from pre-searing into...*that* whining you know what and inflicted her on us...yep that's my vote. Sorry kitty-bear people, it was a toughie for me).

Really, really, really hate asura, PAthetic race just there because everyone needs a race of tiny useless people. I facepalm when people roll melee classes as Asura which unfortunately people can and will be able to do. Also stupidly stereotyped as "mind over matter" type people that are supposedly so smart that they can physically match some giant norn in melee.

Sorta wondering.
Asura warrior with a greatsword Vs Norn Warrior with greatsword.
I understand for balance issues they need to be the same reach. But how will they address the short arms of the most hated super awesome race.

but for me, Norn, while I love the race and their lore and goals, the constant optimistic-ness of them is a tad annoying.

I dare say, while the Norn in general do appeal to me, I absolutely loathed this aspect of their personality throughout the personal story. Everything the Norn said just felt.... really, really, really cliche. The Norn personality just didn't feel "real" as a result.

I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
